All India Memon Jamat Federation (AIMJF) is a non-governmental federation of over 500 local Memon jamats (community organizations) across India. Established in 1971, the AIMJF works in the fields of welfare, education, disaster relief, and community development.[1][2]

History

AIMJF was formally established in April 1971 during a national community convention in Baroda, Gujarat. Since then, it has evolved into one of the largest Memon umbrella organizations in India.[3] [4]

Initiatives and Programs

MemonID Demographic Survey

To better understand the socio-economic and educational conditions of the Memon population in India, AIMJF launched a nationwide survey using a digital platform called MemonID. The mobile application allows families to register and update household-level data securely, and is intended to inform policy decisions and community planning.[5]

World Memon Day

AIMJF promotes World Memon Day, observed annually on 10 April to celebrate Memon culture, history, and philanthropy. The 2025 edition was held at Islam Gymkhana in Mumbai and was attended by over 500 dignitaries, social workers, and interfaith leaders. The day is marked by lectures, award ceremonies, and community service events.[6][7] [8][9]
